I think that (testing whether PEM can be triggered by electrical muscle stimulation) would be worthwhile. There are other possibilities, such as...
I think that just indicates that the device isn't measuring what you think it's measuring. Extreme physical exertion probably raised heart rate...
Not every PWME gets PEM from physical exertion either, or even gets it to the same degree from the same exertion. I could hike or bike for hours...
This study came up on PR, and my comment was that researchers should look into using cognitive triggers for PEM. Maybe socializing for 10 minutes...
It wasn't easy. I knew that something in high-protein foods was making my symptoms worse. Peanut and soy butter had the same effect, so it...
I was suspicious of Complex V long before I knew about ME. I thought I had some problem with kynurenine production, which involved superoxide and...
That doesn't help with understanding the impact of cognitive exertion. :thumbsdown: Experiments with cognitive exertion could lead to...
They could also induce PEM via cerebral exertion. Does anyone know whether socializing or other cerebral exertions are as likely to cause crashes...
I think of it as being in prison for something I didn't do, with no idea when, if ever, I'll be released. I certainly don't have the freedom to...
There's funding for ageing cats, but not for humans with ME?
I think "quasiexperimental" means "We'll start with the results we want and make up the experiment to provide them." :rolleyes:
Researchers should put out a call for anyone who is able to trigger temporary remissions reliably, even if it's only for a few times. Get the...
I feel that an even stronger argument for ME being reversible is temporary remission. I had several, more frequently at the start, with the last...
I have one (molar), gotten several years into my ME. I didn't have any problems healing quickly, or any other problems with it. My ME doesn't...
I didn't notice and difference in PEM between +30C and -40C. Swimming in my creek in winter would require considerably more effort. That water...
I didn't notice any difference during PEM. For me it was just 'fatty meal without carnitine = worse symptoms. With carnitine = no extra symptom...
At one point in my ME (maybe year 12?) I developed worse symptoms after eating fatty meals. That was treated by taking carnitine with the meal....
My guess is that they'd find a similar correlation with most viral infections. I think that anything that influences the immune system(s) will...
My ME symptoms rose dramatically when I took extra tryptophan. Even quickly-digested carbs would make me feel worse 20 minutes later, which is...
Perhaps it's just the alkalinity of non-solvent cleaners. If baking soda or washing soda causes your dermatitis, then you'll have to avoid all...
Separate names with a comma.
